Rodriguez-Feliciano to headline Mar. 23rd show on ESPN2

Press Release: Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing is heading to Foxwoods Resort Casino for the March 23, 2007 installment of ESPN2 Friday Night Fights. The show will be headlined by welterweight contender Delvin Rodriguez (20-1-1 12 KOs) against Jesse Feliciano (14-5-3, 8 KOs) in a twelve-round regional title bout. Rodriguez’s most recent televisedappearance was perhaps his finest hour to date. He faced Luis Hernandez, who couldn’t even make it out of the third against Rodriguez. The normally durable Ecuadorian was floored three times en-route to a third-round TKO victory for Rodriguez.  “Delvin is an exciting and refreshingtalent, and we believe he is the future of the welterweight division,” said DeGuardia. “He has all the tools to become a world champion and thepunching power to create the highlight-reel knockouts the fans love. He’d better be because Feliciano is one tough hombre.”  Jesse Feliciano's last two appearances on ESPN were a win over Vince Phillips on short notice and a draw against Contender Star Alfonso Gomez.
